Lack of phone numbers seems to be becoming more common, I was after some bits for my ifor trailer last week and visited three dealers webs pages that didn't display a phone number! Madness, needless to say they didn't sell me anything that day.

In my opinion a firm run efficiently that knows what they can do and does it very well. So, typically well equipped for their chosen niche with the right mix of staff to make use of said equipment and get things done right. Few will earn a salary of £50k as dividends on top of a very modest salary are far more tax efficient, as are various benefits in kind. -
That's seems quite oppressive, how much does a days work for 3 guys cost the customer ?

A few jobs today dismantled the anchor sycamore pollard with the crane....no decent pictures unfortunately. Then removed another sycamore and a conifer from the back garden of some flats the mini loader saved loads of time dragging out of the car park as the access was shocking and you couldn't get the lorry in easily.

You didn't directly, but the post I questioned appeared to promote not paying tax, so thought t was worth detailing the changes as previously for lower rate tax payers you could basically pay no tax using the system you suggested.
-
Me too, but dividends are taxed at 7.5% after first £5k up to the higher rate tax threshold and 32.5% or so after that. So if you want the money tax has to be paid. As Steve pointed out they can't make it all go, if you're earning good money you will be paying a fair bit of tax, but it's no bother really imo.
-
Ah right, that's mad, in the South East the tax free allowance would barely cover a mortgage. If you think like this an employed position is probably best for everyone!
-
More than your tax code?
-
No, they pay them right up to 30 something household income. And they pay very well!

....tax credits

I thought it was somewhere in the mid twenties, but I'd still confidently say plenty of 'business owners' in this game earn less and, sadly, think they're doing alright.

I do this when I have time and aim to either get the job one way or another or find out the three points Tom D mentioned, which is always valuable and interesting information allowing you to profile your competition or find out who they really are.

Mark I have a big piece of half inch steel if you want to come and get a piece of it we can cut a bit off to the size you need.

Fits nicely sideways behind a load of chip as well.

Unless it's a shredder, yes
-
Pull it out with truck or winch, they pop out easy roots are dead shallow. Getting back to original post, I've chilled a few palms with my bandit but the chip quality is not great unless chipping the 'logs' with foliage on which isn't gonna be possible with a Timberwolf. If you're gonna try r make sure the knives are super sharp and anvil is on point!

Haha, never mind ! It's definitely no ditch witch or Vermeer when it comes to pure grunt on fair seized logs (however I do not have any extra ballast fitted yet) the load in those pictures made it a little tippy. I'm sure it would handle them better on forks as they'd be closer in and lower but they won't be ready for a week or two. But it is a formidable tool for dragging large piles of brush and the wheels are very friendly to turf, the garden we worked in today had a pretty nice lawn and it's still looking good after a day dragging brush over it without too much care, the tracked machines I demo'd would have take far more care or plywood on the areas where material is to be collected and turning would be required. I'll get some proper pics of some dragging tomorrow, it's definitely a game changer but at a fraction of the price of the more popular machines.

Distance learning Arb courses & qualifications???

Are they ok with that? When I was at uni they would penalise you if you went over by more than about 10% -
DPD do well as they don't pay their drivers for undelivered parcels. Whoever fr jones use are very good also 1 hour window given in the morning and they've not missed it yet.
-
How can the batteries differ if they look identical ( which presumably makes them the same brand) and the voltage cca etc are the same ? I doubt eggs would have missed these details. What is your argument if we presume the products are both the same as stated in the original post ?
-
I have this problem with local saw dealers they are selling saws for over £100 more than FR Jones, but are only about 40 miles from them, it's crazy I don't know how they sell any, and in this case both are proper retailers with shops so theirs no excuses involving lower overheads etc.

Buy a tipper as well, preferably over 3.5t
